19th Century School House The Wauwatosa Historical Society offers a 2 and ˝ hour turn-of-the-century school day experience for all second grade students who attend both public and private schools in Wauwatosa . The second floor of the Coach House has been transformed into a replica of a one-room schoolhouse, complete with old-fashioned wood and iron desks, slate chalk boards, a pot-bellied stove, and McGuffy readers.
Wauwatosa Historic Site Art Contest The Wauwatosa Historical Society sponsors this contest for all Wauwatosa students in Grade K4 through Grade 5 to promote appreciation for the unique historic buildings in our community. Students choose a historic building to portray from a list of properties that are designated as Wauwatosa Landmarks, Milwaukee County Landmarks, Wauwatosa historic properties, and/or National Register of Historic Places properties. We hope this project will help our students grow to be conscientious citizens and stewards of Wauwatosa’s heritage. See photos of some Wauwatosa landmark sites. Congratulations to the 2011 winners!!
